Oldboy: 4 stars - average
On entering the Catfish Corner Restaurant one enters a family dining atmosphere that evokes what Cracker Barrel wants to be. A sort-of quaint, down home feeling with decent food, friendly staff and pleasant surroundings, though it did have a slight slapped-together industrial feel to it, a box building slapped down on a cement pad. Lots of family groups and older couples, this place didn't seem to have much of a college crowd to it. I bought $19 worth of food, as we wanted to try a variety of things, which provided some leftovers, though just getting a regular filling meal would likely have provided few leftovers for an average/average-high cost. The food was decent, plain, filling fare. The jalapeno hushpuppies lacked bite, the fries weren't that great, and the only thing that really excited me were the Boudin Balls (sausage and rice filled cornmeal balls deep fried - imported from Louisiana the waitress said). If I really, really craved catfish/seafood I would consider returning, if only for the Boudin Balls. The main problem with this place is its location, out of town on Route B towards Hallsville (past the Quaker and 3M plants).
